BACKGROUND
OncotypeDX(®) (ODX) is a well-validated assay for breast cancer treatment planning. We explored whether the conventional pathological factors could pick up high risk patients without the help of the ODX.
METHODS
The ODX was performed on 139 hormone receptor-positive invasive breast
BACKGROUND
Coffee and tea consumption has been inconsistently associated with the risk of breast cancer. We examined the associations of caffeinated coffee and black tea consumption with the incidence of breast cancer, overall and by estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) status of
BACKGROUND
Antibodies might protect against low doses of environmental carcinogens by decreasing systemic uptake, activation of metabolic pathways, and redistribution of carcinogens within the organism. The features of antibody formation in relation to environmental carcinogens and sex steroids
Smears from paraffin sections from 3,198 cases of surgical resection mammary carcinomas were assessed immunohistochemically for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expressions in National Cancer Center (NCC), China, to explore the
The advantages are illustrated of analyzing breast cancer estrogen and progesterone receptor assays by fitting a receptor-ligand binding model directly to experimental data, rather than using the common graphical transformation known as the 'Scatchard plot'. Analysis of laboratory experiments and
BACKGROUND
Because the occurrence of breast cancer during pregnancy is uncommon and because the high levels of estrogens and progestins associated with pregnancy could cause false-negative results from ligand binding assays (LBA), the actual incidence of steroid hormone receptor positivity in tumors
Progestins are reported to increase the risk of more aggressive estrogen receptor positive, progesterone receptor positive (ER+ PR+) breast cancers in postmenopausal women. Using an in vivo rat model of ER+ PR + mammary cancer, we show that tumors arising in the presence of estrogen and progesterone
Estrogen (E) is well known to be an important stimulator of progesterone receptor (PR) synthesis in target cells. We have observed that E stimulation of PR in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells (as monitored by progestin binding or Western blotting with anti-PR antibodies) increases as a function of
Estrogen receptor (ER) is essential for estrogen-dependent growth, and its level of expression is considered a crucial determinant of response to endocrine therapy and prognosis in ER-positive breast cancer. On the other hand, the clinical role of progesterone receptor (PgR) in ER-positive breast
Recent data suggest a novel role of progesterone in breast cancer etiology involving the progesterone metabolites 3α-dihydroprogesterone (3αHP), 5α-dihydroprogesterone (5αP), and 20α-dihydroprogesterone (20αHP). Accurate and precise measures of progesterone metabolites are needed for etiologic
Estrogen-receptor protein is known to be an important prognostic factor for patients with breast cancer. The presence of estrogen receptor correlates with response to endocrine therapy in patients with metastatic disease and is associated with prolonged disease-free survival and overall survival in
Background: Luminal breast cancer (L-BCa) comprises the majority of incurable, distally metastatic breast cancer cases. Estrogen supports growth of L-BCa cells but suppresses invasiveness. Estrogen also induces the progesterone receptor (PR). Invasiveness and
Background: Estrogen receptor-positive, progesterone receptor-positive, and HER2-positive breast cancers (triple-positive breast cancers, TPBCs) account for 5% to 10% of all breast cancers. The clinical and molecular features of TPBCs remain elusive. In this study, we aim to analyze the
Red meat intake has been postulated to increase the risk of breast cancer but epidemiologic studies have yielded inconsistent results. Data on meat intake in relation to hormone receptor-defined breast cancer are sparse. We examined the association of meat intake with incidence of breast cancer
BACKGROUND
Alcohol intake has been reported to be positively associated with an increased risk of postmenopausal breast cancer; however, the association with the estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) status of the breast tumors remains unclear.
METHODS
Self-reported data on alcohol
